Italian Hot Beef

For each supper swap meal, use 1 recipe with 3 pounds of chuck roast.

For every 3 pounds of chuck roast (or chuck tender roast) mix together:

12 oz beef broth
1 Tbsp ketchup
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp Kitchen Bouquet
4 drops Hot sauce

Sprinkle garlic salt and pepper on roast to taste. Put in crock-pot with above mixture. Cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours. Shred beef with a fork and return to juice.

Jonelle’s note: I used chuck roast or chuck tender roast - whatever is cheaper. It is great to make ahead. I did 2 roasts in 1 big crock-pot. Can be frozen and reheated easily.
